Out of all the point guards that got drafted in the last couple years, who would you take as your point guard of the future. I would take Chris Paul. He is going to have a very bright NBA career. He will be able to score with the best of them, while still being unselfish, and get the ball to his mates. I think he will play alot like Mike Bibby.
Livingston will be amazing, and Heinrich is already solid and going to be better. Duhon also will be promising
Shaun Livingston, Chris Paul, Raymond Felton are the some of the few I`m looking forward too seeing down the road. They all seem to have bright futures ahead of them.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting number99:</div><div class="quote_post">Duhon also will be promising</div> So, if you could select any point guard selected in the draft say in the last ten years, Duhon would be as high as your page 10? Not mine. The guy does have promise, I agree with that, but he's not geared to be any kind of NBA star. After finally getting a get look at him (against second tier talent, no less) this last week, I can clearly see that this man will never start on an NBA team. And that's okay, there are many more roles a guy like Duhon can play, but starter isn't among them. That being said, there are plenty of guards recently selected, even some we won't expect until it happens, who will start in this league and deserve to. Let's keep our eyes out for them. If I had to pick, I'd lean towards gocelts' idea in Paul, or with Livingston out it LA.
I would say probably Chris Paul, Kirk Hinchrich or Shaun Livingston. Raymond Felton should do pretty good also
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Crywalker:</div><div class="quote_post"> After finally getting a get look at him (against second tier talent, no less) this last week, I can clearly see that this man will never start on an NBA team. </div> He has already started for a NBA team, the Bulls, last season. He also has the inside track to start this year at the point guard slot. I agree with you he is no superstar, but he is capable of being a starting point guard in the league, because he can do what is asked of him which is run a offense without turning the ball over, make assists and get people involved, and make the shots he is asked to make. Reminds me of Antonio Daniels, or a Brevin Knight. Like you said however, top ten point guard of the future? Not likely.
Point Guards Dwayne Wade is the future now,but i also like Kirk Heinrich.Chris Paul and Raymond Felton are gonna be interesting to watch,toh and what about Jameer Nelson?
I think Nelson is the most solid. He still has to develop a bit from the best college player to a great NBA player but he will. He needs to learn to to get blocked but besides that he has no weaknesses other than height, which he makes up for in quickness. Also, there has never been a stronger 6 foot guard, this guy is the best 6 foot tall rebounder of all time. (doesn't mean he's amazing at rebounding, but he can certainly grab a few).
Shaun Livingston, Chris Paul, Nate Robinson or Chris Duhon. Yes Duhon, I dont care what you guys say, he can ball. Duhon can shoot decently from mid-range and his long range shot is improving, he can dish the ball with the best of 'em and he plays D.

He does run an offense, and he came by the skill honestly, running some stellar teams in college. Thanks for the correction.
My Top 5 would be: 1.Jarrett Jack 2.SL14 3.CP3 4.Bassy 5.Jameer Nelson or Felton honorablemention: Kirk Hinrich Marcus bamks(once he matures) keith Bogans
Jameer Nelson The most fun I had watching college basketball was Jameer Nelsons St. Joes squad and I am saying that for a reason. Expect him to start at point for the MAgic this season.
I agree with Chris Duhon. He's a solid ball player, who plays tough on both ends. He really understands the game, and hes not flashy, and doesn't try and do to much. I think he will be good, but won't be as good as the likes of Chris Paul and Shaun Livingston.
Come on now, not one person said Luke Ridnour? This guy is easily one of the best PG drafted in the past 3 years and is improving rapidly every year...
Luke Ridnour is one of the best passers in the last three, but I don't think hes one of the top overall talents.
